The governments of Caracas and Beijing pledged to train militants in order to confront the “attacks of U.S. imperialism on both nations”.
In a meeting between the Secretary General of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, and the representative of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wu Hansheng, the parties agreed to cement collaboration to confront the “attacks of US imperialism on both nations”.
According to Cabello, the meeting allowed both authorities to address the importance of maintaining relations between the Chinese Communist Party and the PSUV. The leaders agreed to deepen the already existing agreements between China and Venezuela for the training of militants and to increase collaboration between their respective workers’ movements.
Diosdado Cabello emphasized the need for this alliance, stating that “both China and Venezuela will continue to be under attack by the new US government and it is the task of both parties to face these attacks on the economies, workers and militancy, united as a single bloc”. For his part, Wu Hansheng congratulated the PSUV on its victory in the May 25 parliamentary and governors’ elections, highlighting the strong bilateral relationship.
Hansheng and other Chinese officials arrived in Venezuela on Sunday, June 8 for a series of meetings with Venezuelan authorities. Caracas and Beijing maintain an extensive cooperation relationship that is reflected in more than 600 agreements signed within the framework of their High Level Joint Commission.
The bilateral relationship has experienced significant momentum in recent years. In December 2024, during a visit of Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to Shenzhen, both countries signed a cooperation agreement in the energy and financial fields.
Previously, in 2023, President Nicolás Maduro toured China, culminating in the signing of 31 new agreements in various areas such as energy, economy, trade, industry, mining, agriculture, infrastructure, health, telecommunications and tourism, further consolidating ties between the two nations.
Anybody have more reading on the PSUV? Know next nothing about it and Socialism in Venezuela. Thanks in advance.
The best way to learn about PSUV in a general sense will be to investigate the Comunas system.
